This is certainly one thing upon which you and I totally agree, Beds. We're so sure of our 'facts' that it's difficult to have an open mind. And then the insults get hurled, grudges developed and held, and the original purpose of the site - sharing our passion for watches - becomes obscured. While I can't speak for Anthony, I can say that, for myself, the ubiquitous poli-sci (or, more accurately, poly sigh) exchanges have tarnished much of the joy and pride of membership that I've experienced in being a WatchLord. And the 'particle physics posse' is having largely the same effect, 'free speech' or no. I rather like physics - I was a pilot for the better part of my 26-year USN career, after all - but, like it or not, this is a watch site.
Many thanks for the save there, 'Noob; things were gettin' uber uglified...
